376 Evil Yi Yun (1/2)
”About the alliance...” The steward began to think through his words, ”Now, the family is indeed facing such a choice, and there is quite a number of upper echelon elders who are leaning towards it...”
When the steward said this, Yi Yun's heart sank. They were really going into an alliance!
He had just come to the Tian Yuan world, and his strength was still relatively tiny in this world. Did he have to travel the world by himself? If he did, he might even have to face the possibility of the Shentu family clan’s deathly pursuits!
”They are leaning towards it? What are those old fools thinking? The Shentu family clan is not any good. Is allying with them not the equivalent of asking a tiger for its skin?”
Su Jie immediately cursed.
The steward smiled bitterly, ”Elder Su, let me say my piece. Actually, this matter is related to you...”
”Oh? Related to me?” Su Jie was shocked.
”To be precise, it has to do with your disciple, Miss Xintong...”
Lin Xintong?
Yi Yun's heart thumped, was this related to Lin Xintong previously being summoned home?
And following that, the steward's next words verified Yi Yun's guesses.
”Elder Su, you naturally know the matter of Miss Xintong's meridians...”
The steward glanced at Yi Yun, intending to mince his words. He did not want to discuss Lin Xintong's problem in front of Yi Yun. However, Su Jie only waved his hand, indicating that heneed not worry about Yi Yun, ”Just say it directly.”
”Oh… Having natural Yin Meridians means that one will die within 500 years of age. It is effectively the end of one's martial path, and it is an incurable disease.”
”This meridian state is a curse from Heaven, however… Once someone is able to defy heaven and join up the natural Yin Meridians, then an incredible metamorphosis will occur. In ancient times, there was a peerless Great Empress who managed to reverse the situation of her natural Yin Meridians, and her cultivation level skyrocketed, becoming the number one person of her generation. Her strength was unfathomable… It was rumored that the Great Empress was much stronger than our Lin family's grand elder and the Shen Tu's Ancestor of our time...”
”And about two years ago, the Shentu family clan found an ancient Desolate Heaven technique in a mystic realm, and it is suspected of being related to the peerless Great Empress...”
”The Shentu family clan believes that this ancient Desolate Heaven technique is able to join up Miss Xintong's terminated meridians. Thus the upper echelons of the family summoned her back.”
”However, the family's upper echelons are still doubtful of this technique. Although it is really an ancient Desolate Heaven technique recipe, it cannot be confirmed that it was left behind by that peerless Great Empress. And… even if the recipe really can cure the natural Yin Meridians the family's upper echelons do not believe that the Shentu family clan has the ability to guarantee that they will be able to refine this desolate bone relic...”
When the steward said this, Su Jie was stunned.
Over the past few years, he had brought Lin Xintong around to many places, but he had failed to find a way to join up her natural Yin Meridians.
Now, the Shentu family clan had declared that they found a Desolate Heaven technique recipe related to the ancient Great Empress, how could this not surprise Su Jie?
Previously, Lin Xintong may have been a direct child of the Lin family and a genius not seen in a thousand years, she was greatly loved by the Matriarch. However, because of her naturally terminated meridians, her status in the Lin family was not high.
For the Lin family, with their great heritage, everything went in accordance with the rules. And these rules could only be described as being cold and heartless.
The children of large family clans were always in a state of competition. As Lin Xintong was greatly loved by the Matriarch, it was bound to cause a lot of jealousy. Furthermore with Lin Xintong being destined to a short life, she was essentially a cripple. Hence, she did not live a happy life within the family clan, which was why she went out on training expeditions with Su Jie.
However… if Lin Xintong's terminated meridians were to be joined up, then her status would be completely different. Once the natural Yin Meridians metamorphosed, Lin Xintong's future would be limitless. This would definitely be a great event for the Lin family's history!
”What are the conditions?”
Su Jie asked in a deep voice. He already had a bad premonition about this. Since the Shentu family clan had such a Desolate Heaven technique recipe, they would not join up Lin Xintong's terminated meridians for nothing. There had to be conditions attached to it.
And there was probably only one condition that would gain the Shentu family clan's trust...
”The condition is to marry Miss Xintong into the Shentu family clan. With that, the Shentu family clan will reap great benefits. As Miss Xintong's body is special, intercourse with a man will be a great opportunity. Especially after Miss Xintong's terminated meridians are joined up, the man that gain's Miss Xintong's primordial Yin will greatly increase his strength by one realm. He may even instantly gain the insight into the laws Miss Xintong knows...”
”As such, the Shentu family clan will have one more peerless expert at the level of the Shentu Patriarch. Under normal circumstances, that person's future would be even stronger than that of the Shentu Patriarch...”
”Furthermore, with Miss Xintong marrying into the Shentu family clan, she would become one of the Shentu family clan. So, the Shentu family clan will then immediately have two peerless experts.”
I see...
Yi Yun understood. The ploy the Shentu family clan had was brilliant.
Now the Shentu family clan was vulnerable, once it formed an alliance with the Lin family, it would able to ride out this period of vulnerability.
And following that, they would have one more child who was at least at the level of the Shentu Patriarch, as well as another peerless Great Empress. With that, the Shentu family clan would probably become the number one family in the Tian Yuan world!
”Who is Miss Lin's marriage partner?”
Yi Yun suddenly asked.
